These films are really corroded. But it looks like this base was built for some kind of time experiment called, "Project: Paradox."
Kevin LevinWho wouldn't pick the desert outside Bellwood to do top-secret research?
They built it here because of the huge quartz deposits.
Kevin Levin
"Quartz time?" Maybe they were trying to build the world's biggest wristwatch.
[signifying the picture of the professor] His name's been censored. Whoever he was, his paradox theory was the basis of some kind of experimental tunnel through time.
[They enter a lab with materials sucked into the time portal]
Kevin Levin
Looks like my place after that big party I threw last weekend.
[spots a trail on the ground] Look, that thing's been here, too.
Only one trail. It either came in here and vanished.
Kevin Levin
Hey, it's that dork from the photo, the paradox guy.
You haven't changed at all in 50 years.
Oh, considerably more than that. Gumball?
No, thanks. Who are you? What's your name?
You just read my file. I was rather hoping you could tell me. It slipped my mind several hundred years ago.
Those trails. They're not burned marks, they're age. The creature accelerates time!
Kevin Levin
[charging at the trans-dimensional creature] Not so fast, ugly! [punches the creature, but it causes his hand to wrinkle and ages forward into an old man]
[reverting back] Just touching that thing aged him, 60, 80 years? We've got to get him to a hospital.
Old Kevin Levin
What are you doing? Get your hands off me.
Come on, Kevin, we're going to get you some help.
Old Kevin Levin
What do you mean, "help?" I'm gonna kick that thing's keister! [kicks his foot and his back spine pops] Oy!
Old Kevin Levin
My back is killing me, my legs ache, and what's up with these shoes? Is it too much to ask for a little support?
He's like a real irritable, short-tempered, crotchety old man.
Old Kevin Levin
Why are you whispering?
In other words, aside from the male-pattern baldness, he's pretty much the same as always. Come on, old man. I'll take those. [takes the car keys out of Old Kevin's hand as he's trying to insert them into something]
Old Kevin Levin
What do you think you're doing?
Old Kevin Levin
Don't even think about it, you don't have a license.
Grandpa Max taught me, and it's an emergency. You're nearsighted, arthritic, your reflexes are shot, and you're trying to unlock a cactus.
[Zoom out to reveal that Old Kevin was trying to unlock a cactus, mistaking it for his car]
Old Kevin Levin
[sitting in the backseat; to Gwen] You should've gone out with me when I was young and handsome.
Old Kevin Levin
What about now?
[backs up and accidentally bumps into some trash cans; embarrassingly] Whoops! (My bad.)
Old Kevin Levin
It's not a bumper car!
Old Kevin Levin
[to Ben as he and Gwen carry him after getting out of the car] You are never driving my car again!
[Parts from Kevin's car fall apart]
Where have you been? You were supposed to get here six seconds ago. Or this thing running fast?
Who are you anyway? What are you doing here?
Old Kevin Levin
Can you fix my car?
There's something different about you. Is it your hair?
Old Kevin Levin
Yeah, I'm parting it down the middle now, and I also got real old!
Don't talk to me about old. I walk in eternity.
Old Kevin Levin
Well, you better start running ineternity, smart guy!
I'll tell you my story in a way that you can understand. With a beginning, middle and end. We'll start in the middle. Los Solidad was built entirely because of my ingenious theory. A time tunnel utilizing properties which I discovered in quartz crystals. Which allows us access past and future events.
Kevin Levin
Well for a genius it looks like you blew it.
You don't know the half of it. So some tiny miscalculation on my part destabilized the experiment and ripped a hole in the fabric of reality. I was hurled into the event horizon. I must have spent 100,000 years there. I didn't age, or need to sleep or eat. Just exist.
Kevin Levin
Heh, sounds pretty boring.
Professor Paradox At first, I went mad of course, but after a few millennia, I got bored with that too, and went sane. Very Sane. I began to learn. I now have total understanding of the space/time continuum, allowing me to travel anywhere and anywhen I want. Within reason of course.
SSquire
The Dragon escaped. (The team is shocked) Ben we need you to help us.
You're saying you want me to be a part of all this? Be a knight?
SSquire
Yes Ben. Join us in our most noble of causes.
Do I get some of that cool armor?
You see a bunch of old swords and axes and you're ready to jump in and be a knight in shining armor? There's still a lot we don't know.
Kevin
Like if there even is a dragon. I mean all they've got for proof are these things... (Tears a decor on wall) Sorry!
[takes out an alien tech translator object from Kevin's car trunk] I knew I'd seen one of these before. What is it?
Kevin
Galvan Universal Translator -- translates any language into any other, in real time. Pretty common alien tech.
The dragon had something like this near its throat, but it looked busted.
Then all we have to do is replace the broken one with this one.
Kevin
That's all, huh?
DDragon
(After replacing old Galvan Universal Transmitter) Leave me alone, leave me alone!
DDragon
Of course I can talk. Why wouldn't I be able to talk?
Well, I-I thought you were a, um...
DDragon
Yeah? Well, I thought you were a monkey.
Oh I don't really look like THIS! (Reverted to Ben)
DDragon
Sorry. All mammals look alike to me.
Kevin
It's not just you. Ben does sort of favor a monkey. Smells like one too.
What kind of a hero travels in a bus?
None of us knows how to drive a car and none of us has a license! What do you want me to do? (pretends to call his mother) Hi, Mom. We need to go fight some aliens. Will you give us a ride?
Okay whatever. I'm just worried that's all.
Well yeah, what else? We need to find him before... you know before something bad happens. Not that I care or anything. I mean come on; how can anyone care about a person who's that rude, and undependable and, and... annoying? It's ridiculous. How could you even say something like that?
(confused, shocked, understanding Gwen's feelings for Kevin) Actually... I didn't say anything.
Oh! (Gwen looks away embarrassed)
(at Manny and Helen's hideout)
(Ben and Gwen arrive)
Now give us back our friend!
(Helen and Manny start shooting at Ben and Gwen. Gwen then puts up her shield)
Teammate, co-worker, whatever.... can we talk about this later?
(Helen noticed the distracted Gwen and Ben so taking advantage, she shoots a piece of rock, which breaks into three, all falling on Ben's head and shoulders)
Hey! I wasn't the one who... Uh... Uh... Uhhhh (falls unconscious)
Ben! (hits Manny and Helen with her shield)
Kevin
(at the same time regaining consciousness, realizing that Ben and Gwen have come to his rescue) Looks like my rescuers need rescuing. (absorbs pocket change) Guess it'll have to do. (breaks free from the shield bubble)
[Arguing]
Kevin
But look at it this way. Your human form is probably even uglier.
You wanna go another round?
Kevin
Anytime, pal!
(to Gwen) Tell your boyfriend to back off.
No you tell yours...whoahoh he's not my boyfriend!
Well, you sure act like it.
Don't tell me who my boyfriend isn't... is!
Kevin
Hey you're the comedian. At least you got the face for it.
BOY, ARE YOU ASKIN' FOR IT?!
Kevin
I'm begging for it! Who's gonna give it to me?
Me! With three hands tied behind my back!
[Losing control of his rage] Hey!!! Stop it, all of you! What am I, your babysitter?!
(referring to Pierce) You sounded just like my brother.
Pierce was always the one who always kept his ground.
[After Manny and Helen jump into the projector, the projector turns off.]
Kevin
[Points at the projector] That is so not gonna go well.
I don't know. On paper, we don't look like such a great team either.
Kevin
There is that. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go swipe some of there equipment. [Turns around and heads towards the warehouse]
[Angrily] So not cool, man!
[Ben and Gwen follow Kevin towards the warehouse.]
[Mr. Smoothy; Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are being held at gunpoint by the Incursians with their hands up once they step out of Kevin's car]
Kevin
Incursian warriors, packing serious ordinance.
[appearing in sight] Weapons down. Sorry, Kevin, you know Incursians.
Kevin
[pleased] Raff! How you been? [introduces him to Ben and Gwen] Guys, this is Raff, the number two guy in like 40 star systems. Raff, Gwen Tennyson.
Kevin
Yeah, that's him there. [to Ben] I used to talk about what I'd do to you.
Right, back when you were a crook.
Kevin
[correcting him] Entrepreneur. I kept Raff's whole empire in food and sandals. What brings you out this way?
SevenSeven snatched a little girl in this system and I really need to find her. You're the only Earth fellow I know. [holds up the piece of the Princess Attea's garment] She wore the royal color. Seen anybody like that?
Wait. SevenSeven, like that guy, SixSix, we used to fight?
He's the same race as SixSix, but far more dangerous.
Yeah, eleven more dangerous.
Kevin
[snapping his fingers in front of Alien X's face to get his attention] Hello? Anybody home in there?
Ben, come on. SevenSeven's getting away with the princess. Ben, are you okay? Ben?
[Inside Alien X's mind…]
This is awesome! Quick, how do I make something else happen?
Yeah, whatever. Okay, team Alien X! Let's move! [Starts flying away from Serena and Bellicus, but stops when he realizes they aren't doing anything]
We are one of the most powerfull beings in the universe.
Because we are the most deliberative.
Huh? You mean the Earth is safe?
No. How did you get that? [Ben flies back to them]
I am Serena, the voice of love and compassion.
And I'm Belicus, the voice of rage and aggression. You're supposed to be the voice of reason!
Belicus and I have been locked in eternal argument.
Yeah, that's great, but the Earth is going to be destroyed any minute!
[Sadly] I feel sorrow. Billions of lives will be lost.
Nah, they probably had it coming. [To Ben] Get it, genius? We deliberate. Now you try it.
I wanna know what happened to my friends.
Motion carried. [A glowing window appears, allowing them to see Gwen and Kevin]
Kevin
[trying to put Alien X in through the car window] Ugh, just bend or something! [tries putting him in the trunk]
You can't just stuff him in the trunk!
Kevin
You're right, he doesn't fit.
I'm serious. He hasn't moved since he fixed the dam. Maybe he's hurt, or...
Kevin
Nah, he's warm. Maybe he's resting.
People of Earth, your time is up. Bring me the royal detonator.
[begging] Don't do it! (Milleous laughs and presses the button) No!
Of course not. My daughter's still there. But the conquest ray did fire, now. Put the little pretty one up on the screen now.
(Pluto is shown on the screen)
Kevin
That is Pluto.
Pretty? Uh, it's a barren, frozen wasteland.
(The conquest ray hits Pluto and is destroyed)
Was a barren, frozen wasteland. [grins]
(Gwen gasps in shock)
Kevin
Look at the bright side, this should smooth out Neptune's orbit.
Yes, and Earth will be in smaller pieces if Princess Attea isn't returned to me.
(Yells out) That makes no sense!
Kevin
(Whispers into Gwen's ear) Gwen... Evil dictator.
Earth can't even communicate with you!
AAttendant
(In voice message) Incoming message from Earth, your violent highness. (Emperor Milleous looks at her)
